aparently when they rebuild they also upgrade. inperticular one spring, according to ford specs, is stiffer than origional so the engine turns higher rpms for increased lubercatoin.

anybody know anything about this. the guy at the trans shop told me this. i have talked to him alot and trust him to a degree but he still knows alot more than me and could easily mislead me, which i wouldn't completely dismiss as a posibility.

news to me.......replace a spring in the trans to increase engine rpm??

yes there is a spring in the trans that is attached to a valve. suposedly ford reccomends this new spring which is stiffer and as a result makes the valve harder to open and increases RPM shift range. have you ever had an a4ld rebuilt?

wish i had a five speed this auto trans crap is a PIA. i had almost 300,000 miles on my 2wd 94 b3000 before a shift rod broke in the trans. as far as i know it was the origional trans and was never rebuilt. just one clutch job at 200,000. it had other problems but not in the drive train.

I had the auto one in my bronco II, it was fine while i had it. I bought it with 158,000+ on the odometer and it shifted fine, didn't slip, but it might have been a one in (insert huge number here) or gone out after i sold it.

if i'm not mistaken i believe he rebuilt it with the upgraded internals. he seemed to know his $hit. FYI my trans was working flawlessly untill i drove it across the state. i took a look at the old parts and they apeared to be in working order but very loose and worn almost as if it had been driven 160,000 miles. the planetary gears were missing bushings between race and gears and all the clutches were burned up, due to fluid loss. i think all problems spawned from a clogged vent tube which caused the front main to fail, causing fluid loss which burned up the clutches and complete failure. i have been meaning to take pictures of the "new" trans and new drive line. i would like to hear some opinions on the drive line.

This whole "no job" thing sucks. i have been itching to work on the bronco since got out here but that requires parts and parts cost money. no job no money.

would like to get bigger tires, level the front (with new shocks), and get a grill guard so i can install the pile of things i have that need to go on it.
Tow Hooks
Cb Radio and antena
Silver Lake Flag
6" KC Lights

got all the major components for all of these.

I want to weld tabs onto the guard for a 4' Wilson Flex antenna and a Dune flag. the guard also provides a place to mount the lights and i dont want to mount the tow hooks untill i know how the grill guard is going to mount up so i dont have any interference. I am just going to buy a cheap bumper mount JCwhitney model. if i had $500 to spend on a frame Mount i would just buy a Winch bumper from james duff or something. i plan on buying the powder coat model and painting it with spray on bed liner to keep it from rusting.

well i finally found my camera now that the move is complete. I posted the pictures of the new drive shaft and how it sits right now. i havn't posted pistures since i mounted the 2" blocks in the rear. the rear rides too high i am going to level out the front once i find the time and sombody with a sand blaster. i figure i might as well clean and paint them while they are out.

After doing some research and examination i have determined that i no longer have an a4ld trans misson in my bronco. i believe it is either a 4R44E/4R55E. aperently the only diference is the shrength of the internal components. i wonder if the trans shop put the stronger guts in when they rebuilt it? I'll stop by tomorrow and ask. i hope they didn't put the weak shit in.

with no school and almost no money. i was really border yesterday so i decided to mount the wire harness for the 6" kc lights. never having done it before i think i did well. i ran all wires as short as posable with a little play. i then mounted everything and drilled a small and dicrete hole in the firewall just below the brake booster. mounted the switch and clearanced the dash to acomidate the switch body. everything seems to be in right and it will light up the lights. i spent $2.50 and 3 lazy hours getting it done.

Now i just need a place to mount the lights so i can hook them up.

i used a hella harness kit and i really like how discrete and professional the little switch looks. almost factory looking.

I need a place to mount the lights now. If anybody has a grill guard that will fit my Bronco II i would be very interested. other wise i'll end up buying one new from JC Whitney. they are bumper mount but thats the cheapest one around. if i had more money to spend i would just buy a winch bumper now so i have a place to mount a winch somday.
